    Thinking way back waaaay back. I think I was 6 when I started. It was weird....I learned on my own. I would kinda ride in the apartment parking lot which the drive way was circular and I would just kinda hover around the curb between the drive and the sidewalk. Eventually I got my balance figured out and off I went. Then I would get brave and go as fast as I can down the steepest of hills out in the park's woods that had paths and shit....got a nice scar on my knee from biffing it

    Well, so long as she's on training wheels and can reach the pedals, I don't think 3 is too early. However the earlier it is, the more easily frustrating it will be.

    I remember the 1st time the training wheels came off. I thought it was much safer to run into a wall then make my first turn.

    I must have been 4 or 5 when I learned. 3 is pretty young to ride a bike without training wheels. I had a neighbor that pretty much never learned how to ride a bike. It was hard for me to ever take him serious and I think that's why we got into fights playing football. I tackled the guy once and he got up wanting to fight. Of course he couldn't ride a bike so I put him down pretty easily.

    Co-sign...My daughter is 4 and she is finally figuring it out. Now the hard part is getting her to push the pedals back to use the brakes

    Nah 3 isn't too early. I think my daughter was 2 when I first put her on a bike with training wheels, of course I did all the work pushing but she did a little steering. She is 4 now and can pedal and turn by herself, but for whatever reason she can't figure out that pushing the pedals back is her brake. My advice is to find a big open space, like an empty parking lot or something, and just let her do what she can while you coach her up.

    G/f IM's me instead of calling to ask if I can pick up the baby. I say, "yeah I guess" and she goes on this huge tirade about her not needing me to pick him up afterall, she'll be fine by herself, blah blah blah. Calm the fuck down.

    That's why I hate women. You say something innocent like "Yeah, I guess" and they go off the deep end like you said no or something. Jesus christ...

    "Yeah, I guess" shows that you don't really want to. It's similar to saying "Yeah, if I have to".

    If you mean "yeah" just say "yeah". If you mean "yeah, if I have to" just say "yeah".

    This is from experience. Women have forgotten that they are not people and that they are here to do shit for us and to make sexy time with us. It sucks.

    See I just take my cues from this guy.



    I think he's inspired me to remain single with no children (that I know of).
